No. 24: Notre Dame

Notre Dame's field has always been a classic look, most notably the slash lines in each end zone. The nine in each end zone total 18 and each line is at a 42 degree angle, symbolizing the year 1842, the school's inaugural year. However, while I appreciate the tradition, the design is boring.

No. 18: Kentucky

Renovated in 2015, Kentucky's field is far superior to what it once was. Bold blue end zones, and the two-tone green of the field is a perfect match. It's too bad the team hasn't looked as good as its field.

No. 14: Wyoming

Wyoming's end zones are lined with the Rocky Mountains, a cool looking touch that few schools can do (and have it make sense). Fun fact: The stadium sits at an elevation of 7,215 feet above sea level—the highest of all FBS schools.

No. 12: North Carolina

North Carolina changes its field a lot—and every version looks good. Whether it's the black and blue design, patriotic design or bright blue end zones like the picture here, the Tar Heels get it right.

No. 9: Central Arkansas

Easily the most unique design in these rankings. The purple and silver stripes are bold and actually look great. The intimidating purple bear at midfield was cool on its own, so put it all together and you have one of the best fields in all of college football.

No. 8: Eastern Michigan

Eastern Michigan also has a non-traditional field color. The steel gray turf was installed in 2014 and looks fantastic. The green in the end zones and midfield logo make it a perfect match. It's not too in your face, but it still manages a distinct look.

No. 7: LSU

It's the tiger eye. That alone boosts LSU into the top 10. It's such a cool midfield logo, and it really looks intimidating—especially during night games. The end zones are fine, but could be dazzled up more with claw marks or something of that nature.

No. 6: UNLV

UNLV has one of the most fun field designs in college football. It blends Las Vegas culture with its field and doesn't have the same yard line markers as the rest of the country. What happens in Sam Boyd Stadium stays in Sam Boyd Stadium.

No. 2: Boise State

The bright blue field is phenomenal. The electric orange end zones are amazing. The field is so great that I'd watch Boise State games just to see the field. Installed in 1986, the blue field is the original non-traditional look in all of college football. While other colorful fields appear in these rankings, none compare to Boise State's.

No. 1: The Rose Bowl

It takes the Granddaddy of them all to top Boise State. There is nothing more classic, nothing more timeless than The Rose Bowl Game. The large rose at midfield is iconic, and each end zone is colorfully painted with each participating team. Ultimately, it's the best overall field design in all of college football.
